Heaters from 1923- 2023 Mana Ako

Today at Mana Ako mrs Tele’a spun a wheel, and that wheel choose what topic we had to do. I got heaters and I had to show the eveloutions of heaters from now all the way back to a hundred years ago.

During my research I noticed that the heaters got older the further I went back. I also noticed that the heaters got smaller making them more portable and easier to take with you.

doing this task at Mana Ako was really fun and I hope we get to do something like this again.

Kiekie design (mana ako)

This week is Tongan language so at Mana Ako we had to design a type of clothing called Kiekie. Kiekie is a type of clothing that women wear in Tongan. Wearing a Keikei is a sign of faka’apa’apa (respect). A type of clothing in my culture that is like a Kiekie is a puipui. We usually use these at cultural performance’s. So if you do Maori it is showing respect to our culture just like how when you would wear a Kiekie which is also showing a sign of respect

Extension Task

Last week wednesday we had to write issues that are important to different types of People. The first was 11-13 year olds, Next was our parents, aunties, uncles and teachers, Third was grandparents, and lastly was toddlers. As you can see from the task that their are different colours for each note. I was blue and my team was, Toa, Jabal and Patrick. For our team it was really hard to come up with ideas but we did our best and i think we did pretty good. The highlight of this task was having to work in groups because most of my group were my friends. If we do this again I wanna try coming up with more ideas.
